Brexit news: UK could be DRAGGED into EU Army | Politics | News – UK

The move – signed by Theresa May a month ago – is a direct consequence of the Prime Minister’s White Paper ambitions to stay closely tied to Brussels after Britain’s departure from the bloc next March.

The idea for an army outside of Nato was launched and campaigned by Mr Macron at a time of doubt over US President Donald Trump’s commitment to the alliance, The Times reports.

Mr Macron sees Britain’s involvement in the army as integral as Germany, also part of the joint military cluster, has shown little financial commitment to it.
